Arrested Development

I don't get how they wrote this show. I mean it's literally filled to the brim with so much of foreshadowing/jokes. My one major criticism of Arrested Development, is that it's too pushy with the incest/racemixing crap.I know, but everyone on Zag Forums bitches about all tv shows as if they're bluepilled.

They must've had a big piece of paper with arrows going around, indicating when to use a certain gag and when not to.

My favorite AD joke is probably GOB riding the Segway.

We all agree that the return seasons were trash though right? Half the number of jokes of normal episodes.

It was the W. Bush years. We were all sorta blue back then.

Season 3 finale is the canon ending for me.

I found this show to be unjustifiably lauded as some kind of thinking person's comedy; when it really comes across as a try-hard attempt at being high brow and zany. It's what a Wes Anderson sitcom would look like.

To be fair, the jokes do interweave well.

I agree. The gay uncle who was sure everybody deep-down was gay came off as the worst tryhard of the decade.

It's from back when comedy shows were written by people who were more concerned about making jokes instead of btfo'ing dup. Truly dark times.

It's not even that good as comedy goes, though. The gags have some potential, but they're so repetitive, and so utterly lacking in subtlety, that all humor is seeped from them.

That's what this board is about.

But a board created for television and movies is supposed to be about shitposting and le epic memes.

I wasn't remarking on the quality of it, I was just saying they were able to cram in so many jokes because the writing staff at the time wasn't completely mindfucked by politics.So more of their time was spent on writing for the show instead of spending much of their time crying on twitter for a dopamine rush and brownie points, then slapping together an episode at the last second with a couple of dup btfos thrown in.

shouldn't jokes be funny and not crushingly depressing

They were pretty damn funny. The lead-ups were not obvious. That Mr. F episode purposely displayed her as just a quirky British chick before the reveal at the end.

yes. the successive seasons are garbage, throw out so many plot lines, are planned poorly, get the characters wrong and so on.
